Which Dura Ace hood ?
I need to replace the hoods on one of my wife’s bikes which has vintage Dura Ace levers. I’m not sure what hoods to buy as there seems to be numerous model numbers used through the years that all look similar to me.

Your levers are Shimano M-140 / MA-100, the first generation of Dura Ace. Don't think you can find any stock and if you did would need $$$ but I used Cane Creek Dia-Compe Non-Aero hoods and the fit is pretty good. You might post over on the Classic and Vintage forum and see if someone has a better update.

Try eBay seller cycling_colors france. He has a number of unusual repro hoods available, some in colors.
Ships from france but only took about ten days the last time I ordered.
The ones that come in white, brown (not gum) or black are the best fit for 1st gen DA, at least they were on mine.
